title: [Soft tissue myoepithelioma of the ring finger of the right hand with intraosseous extension: a case report].
abstract: Myoepithelial soft tissue tumors represent less than 1% of soft tissue tumors. Diagnosis is based on histology, but clinical and radiological features can orient the practitioner. Myoepithelial tumors do not involve the bone as they are not malignant. In this article, we report a case of a myoepithelioma occuring on the volar aspect of the right ring finger involving the first phalanx.
